I for sure thought he'd die, especially since they showed the guy bash him in the head again.

But yeah, movie was great

I think the one thing the movie does great is that the Parks are actually decent people, but completely ignorant to their privilege and luxury.

It's surprisingly nuanced.

I agree with the others that it's a great movie, and I like how it was able to seamlessly shift tones; it happened so naturally, IMO.

also, I'm reminded of how so many people complained about it being nominated for best picture because it was made in South Korea, but had no issue with 1917 also getting the nom.

Yeah, the tonal shift caught me by surprise, but it didn't feel out of place at all.

This. It turned on a dime on multiple occasions and didn't feel forced or choppy. Can't remember a time a movie had done that to me in recent memory.

It's because that stone was fake. You know it's fake because it floated when their basement apartment was flooded, when it should have sunk.

If you liked this type of thing in Parasite you'd enjoy pretty much every other movie Bong Joon-ho has made. Parasite is his magnum opus for sure but every movie he's made is amazing.

It was heavy and he threw on his face with deep impact

Great movie too. Mother, The Host, and Memories of a Murder too.

Mother is a hard film to watch though. It's depressing and really fucked up.

Oh and Okja was great too. Got a lot of flak from weirdo "anti-vegan" people when it came out so didn't get a lot of press outside of that.

if it floats it can't be all that heavy.

Fat people float. A boat floats. I'm not exactly a physics guy, but doesn't floating have relatively little to do with weight? More how that weight is spread over the water's surface? Someone correct me if I'm talking out my ass here.

Me and my cousin thought it was gonna be a monster movie and we were waiting for the monsters to come in in the first half. Glad we thought that, cause he wouldn't of watched it if we didn't have that impression. Lack of any research ftw.

it has some thriller elements, but it's a lot more than that, but I do not believe the average person would be scared watching it, even though you might feel some tension at some parts.

It's a comedy at first, then gradually turns into a thriller/tragedy

It kinds of hit various different genres. I'd call it more of a suspenseful thriller than horror at its more tense parts though.

I personally thought the story of Snowpiercer was so illogical that I couldn't get into it, even with the amazing Tilda. Honestly, Parasite is his only movie that I really like, and it's in my top 5 of all time...

Same

I didn't want to bring the topic down but snowpiercer was awful

Sure some stuff in parasite was illogical to make the story work but nothing beyond the suspension of disbelief

Every part of Snowpiercer made absolutely 0 sense and was stupid just for bad social commentary, not even to tell a good story

it's a K Drama with a Tarantino climax

I thought it was horror going in. it's definitely not horror. but it is definitely one of the best films of the last decade
